Ice cream is a popular form of dessert in the United States. Although the term "ice cream" is sometimes used to mean frozen desserts and snacks in general, it is usually reserved for frozen desserts and snacks made with a high percentage of milk fat. One popular way of serving ice cream is the ice cream cone, in which the ice cream is scooped and placed atop a cone-shaped pastry. This allows the treat to be eaten without a spoon. Many people enjoy ice cream cones not just for the convenience of being able to walk around while eating it, but also because the cone itself adds a delicious, sweet crunchiness to the dessert.
